[daip] IBLED

[Andy Biggs]

Hi Eric. Flagging is definitely the weakest part of my 'game'. I'm 
currently trying to flag lots of wide-field VLA data i.e. 4 bands with 7 
channels each. It's a nightmare especially as lots of the data is C array. 
At the moment I don't see any alternative to examining each 
channel/stokes/IF with IBLED - this is clearly insane, but the rfi is 
channel and baseline dependent. I've tried using TVFLG on the channel 0 
dataset, but this leaves plenty of residual bad data, partly due to the 
fact that my large datasets cause TVFLG to average the data in time.

I've just had a go with EDITR and it doesn't seem suitable for VLA data. 
It seems that I can only rotate through a maximum of 11 baselines and have 
to enter by hand a new set of baselines each time. It looks like it would 
be excellent for VLBA or MERLIN data.

Not that anyone in their right mind would edit VLA data with IBLED!
